We LOVE egg hunts! There are always a million and one Easter egg hunts in our neighborhood every year. The neighbors have one, the church has one, the school has one…the list goes on. I still remember the first church egg hunt we attended. My son was able to pick up as many eggs as … Continue reading

This post has weighed heavily on my heart for a while. While the situation as a whole is negative, it doesn’t mean the general public can’t pull something positive from it. (For those of you who haven’t heard about the food allergy debacle in a school in Florida, please visit the following link for more information: http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/26184891/vp/42247030#42247030.) … Continue reading
Please take a moment to visit my guest blog at Sunbutter.com (http://www.sunbutter.com/blog/children-with-food-allergies-help-for-moms)!

I can’t wait to hear your stories!
As mentioned in a previous post, I am a huge fan of Sunbutter (a peanut butter-like substance that is peanut, tree nut, and gluten-free). It’s perfect snack for a family with food allergies. I made some delicious Sunbutter and Hershey Kiss cookies (an old family recipe that originally required peanut butter) at Christmas and noticed that … Continue reading
I love Luby’s. I’ve eaten there since I was a little girl. I still associate church on Sundays with eating at Luby’s because one inevitably led to the other. Now that I have my own family, we still love Luby’s. But eating there is a downright challenge. Although I am satisfied that Luby’s provides several … Continue reading
This weekend my husband and I had a date night. This was a treat because it doesn’t happen nearly often enough these days with two kiddos and the rushing around of every day life. Sometimes date night is a RedBox movie and microwave popcorn, but this weekend we opted for a babysitter for the kids and … Continue reading
When I became pregnant with my son, it was simply a joyous occasion for my husband and I. We wanted to do everything possible to ensure a healthy pregnancy. Like most moms, I tried to stay active, eat healthy, and get plenty of sleep. I had never been happier in my life! Just six months … Continue reading
I’ve been stewing over this post for a while…written it, deleted it, written it, and deleted it again. Why? There will be some that bristle in indignation at this post. There will be some that think I didn’t say enough about this subject. Bottom line, this has been on my heart a long time and … Continue reading
As a child, peanut butter sandwiches were one of my favorite treats…especially a peanut butter and pickle sandwich! (Weird, yes…but delicious!) As an adult I still loved all things peanut butter, so when my son was diagnosed with a severe peanut allergy, my husband and I went through peanut withdrawl…okay…mostly me. My son was so young … Continue reading
